I traded for this almost exactly a year ago. Acquired it from a forum ad. Took it along with a toploader to Liberty to go over and select the best candidate for my street/strip deal. Ended up using the toploader.
Per the folks at Liberty, this is an old Long drag race clutchless "crashbox". Apparently common to these is that the gears take some significant abuse, and some of them should be replaced. He could not or would not give me a statement of "how long would it go as it is". The cost of a full on modern street racer faceplate type conversion was higher than the cost of doing up my toploader, so this has been gathering dust.
This is not the fault of the prior seller. His trans guy might not be as particular as the guys at Liberty, or he may well have acquired it from somebody else before that & been told what he repeated... The mag case is apparently for a somewhat different model and will not work with this trans - but it is included and might be useful as trade bait.
As-is, full disclosure, caveat emptor and all that...
